Question

 Please provide the reference for the following:

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Al-Bahili (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrated that a man came to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and asked:

“What is the reward for a person who fought in the path of Allah, seeking reward and fame? Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘There is no reward for him.’ The man repeated the question three times to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) replied: ‘There is no reward for him.’, and then said: ‘Allah Ta’ala accepts those deeds which were performed purely for His Sake and which were meant to seek His Pleasure.'”

Answer

Imam Nasa’i (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration in Al Mujtaba, (Hadith: 3140)

Hafiz ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) has graded the Hadith as authentic (jayyid).

سنن النسائي:
(٣١٤٠) أخبرنا عيسى بن هلال الحمصي، قال: حدثنا محمد بن حمير، قال: حدثنا معاوية بن سلام، عن عكرمة بن عمار، عن شداد أبي عمار، عن أبي أمامة الباهلي، قال: جاء رجل إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: أرأيت رجلا غزا يلتمس الأجر والذكر، ماله؟ فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «لا شيء له» فأعادها ثلاث مرات، يقول له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «لا شيء له» ثم قال: «إن الله لا يقبل من العمل إلا ما كان له خالصا، وابتغي به وجهه».

فتح الباري:
(٢٨١٠) روى أبو داود والنسائي من حديث أبي أمامة بإسناد جيد.
